Whether from the technical level or from the price cost perspective, foldable screen phones are more difficult and more expensive than traditional smartphones, so from these two perspectives, the starting price of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is not an exaggeration.
Galaxy Z Fold4 is not just a flagship phone, it is also a tablet when it is expanded. If you want to buy both a flagship phone and a tablet now, then you only need to buy a Galaxy Z Fold4.
So, starting at 12,999 yuan, is Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 worth buying? You will know after reading the review.
Appearance Design
Galaxy Z Fold4 retains the same appearance design as Fold3, at least from the back, they have the same ultra-thin camera module with three cameras in the module.
Look closely and you will find that the hinge mechanism takes up less space around, while the shorter but wider aspect ratio frees up more horizontal space. The aluminum construction on the sides feels solid, as does the Gorilla Glass Victus+ glass on the cover display. The hinge is stronger than before, and you need some effort to open it.
main display strengthens its protective layer, but the central crease still exists and is obvious, but does not affect use. The best thing is that the Galaxy Z Fold4 is IPX8 waterproof certified, which means it should be fine in light rain or on sweaty hands. Be aware of the weight, the Galaxy Z Fold4 weighs 263 grams, which is quite heavy!
display
Galaxy Z Fold4 has two displays. The main display measures 7.6 inches, the same as the Fold3, but is shorter and wider, which is similar to the layout of the tablet, which is more useful for running applications side by side, frankly. The panel itself is what Samsung calls dynamic AMOLED 2X display. Whether you are watching movies or playing games, the picture looks bright, vivid and colorful, with a refresh rate ranging from 1Hz to 120Hz, thus keeping the animation smooth and saving power at the same time. The 4MP camera under the display of
is now better hidden by overlapping pixels, it is still visible but not so prominent in peripheral vision.
The 6.5-inch Cover Display screen is also not compromised when you don't want to expand the larger display. It looks almost as good as the main display and has a similar 10Hz to 120Hz refresh rate. It is obviously thinner than the traditional smartphone display, but it is more suitable for everyday use than the external display of the Fold3 model.
Core Performance
Folding screen phones like Galaxy Z Fold4 require the most powerful processor, and Samsung does that because it comes with a powerful Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 flagship processor. I won't talk about the core performance of this processor. Its core performance is very powerful, and it is cooler and more efficient.
Use Galaxy Z Fold4 to watch movies, chat with WeChat, and watch Baidu information every day, which can be very smooth like a traditional mobile phone. When using the home screen, the core experience is similar to that of the tablet. It feels great to play games on the home screen. For example, playing the game " Genshin Impact " feels very smooth and makes people feel immersive.
Camera
Galaxy Z Fold3 There is no best camera, and Galaxy Z Fold4 has no intention to change this. However, Samsung has updated it with the new 50MP main sensor of the Galaxy S22 model to enhance still photo output.
The result is Galaxy Z Fold4 which impressed me with its performance during the day and night, the photos are rich in details, and the color science is attractive. Although the photos are unnatural, the colors are enhanced by default.
However, for most Galaxy Z Fold4 users, these photos are enough to post on Moments without any modification. Details of low light and interior lighting are lost, but never disappointing. The
12MP ultra-wide-angle camera takes equally excellent photos, but the details are slightly insufficient compared to the main sensor.10MP telephoto camera now performs 3x optical zoom , 3x zoom photos have more detail and clarity, and the dynamic range is eye-catching. The 4MP camera on the main display is still good, but the affected face is a bit blurry when the light is insufficient. However, the 10MP camera is great, providing good enough color and rich facial details.
If you are not satisfied with the selfie camera, you can expand the display in in selfie mode, and uses the main rear camera of to take selfies. Such selfie photos are better than all other smartphone selfie cameras, and the selfie effect will definitely satisfy you.
battery
Galaxy Z Fold4 equipped with the 4400mAh battery doesn't seem to be big enough, but with the optimization of Samsung's One UI and Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, for non-heavy users, the battery life of the Galaxy Z Fold4 model can easily last for a whole day, but for heavy users, it requires two charges a day.
Sadly, the Galaxy Z Fold4 gets the same 25W wired fast charging as its predecessor, which completes 0-50% charging in nearly half an hour, and it takes about 75 minutes to fully charge.
summary
Through evaluation, in addition to the a bit heavy body, whether it is the appearance design or the display screen, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is the best. Coupled with its powerful performance, an excellent set of cameras and an elegant One UI experience, if you want to experience the best folding screen phone at present, I think the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 starting at 12,999 yuan is worth buying. What do you think about this? Everyone is welcome to discuss together.
